CAR FREE CITIES – UK and Europe – Clean Air Zones UK
Air Pollution in the United Kingdom Effects the rich the poor. London Cardiff Harlech Leeds etc… One Bus Takes 72 Cars Off UK Roads
.
THE PROBLEMS:
.
Car Free Cities In Europe: found almost 60 percent of vehicles circulating inside town were actually going around in circles trying to find a parking spot causing congestion and pollution. In Pontevedra Spain.
TODAY: In UK towns motorists go “round & round” looking for that one parking space. Motorways are clogged up. People don’t realise it’s causing pollution & congestion…
TODAY: People are buying Electric Cars thinking they are reducing pollution, but many are buying BIGGER SUVs which are causing more and more congestion on our roads and around our schools…

THE SOLUTIONS:
